Embarrassment is a small price for a rich, authentic life. It reminds us of our humanity.

Normal day.
ቴዎድሮስ ታደሰ music.
Suddenly heartbroken 😂😂

I chilled last week.
This week is making me pay for it.
Working my ass off.
Don’t forget to check if I’m still alive 🫶🏽

Yo, our energy get beyond speed's limit 😂

I think the stream met the goal. We showed a lot in just one day. definitely a lot of propaganda.

It’s frustrating seeing people act surprised that Africa has basic infrastructure.
That says more about their assumptions than about the continent.
She said, “I didn’t know Africa had cars, water, and Wi-Fi.”
Are you fucking kidding me?

AI: “I added comments, so it must be correct.”
Human: “Yeah… but does it work?” 👀

Hey guys. Good news👋🏾

We'll be doing a @designweg live episode with @dagmawi_babi .

Hope you guys won't miss it this thursday, january 15. 9:30 pm.

see you :)

Story time:

For the last 4 months, I’ve been working alone on a project at my company.
Now we’re almost at the end, and they’re planning a launch program for the system.

Today, the IT manager called everyone into a meeting to talk about the launch dates, plans, all that stuff.

Then the funny part…
He looks at me and goes:
“You did a good job. I’ll buy you a cake.” 👀

Cake?? 🤨

Bro, I didn’t survive 4 months of stress for dessert. This people never take me seriously
At this point, just help me find a new job 😂😂

The Ghost in the Server: 404

Added a shiny new /settings route to my Express API.
Pushed the code.
CI/CD went green.
Hit the endpoint… 404

So I did the usual ritual:
- Checked folder case-sensitivity (Linux don’t play)
- Verified file paths
- Stared at Nginx configs
Everything looked perfect.

Then the logs whispered the truth:
Error: http.Server.listen() was called more than once

My startup noscript was crashing, so the hosting platform refused to kill the old app.
I wasn’t talking to my new code at all…
I was chatting with a 2-hour-old ghost version of my server

Lesson learned:
If you’re using managed Node.js hosting, don’t hardcode your port in production.
Let the environment handle it unless you enjoy debugging paranormal activity.

I’m officially tired of playing Ghostbusters with servers 😂😂😂

#bug

My entire morning was sacrificed to this error😭

ምናባቴ ሲቆላኝ ነው developer የሆንኩት የሚያሰብል ውሎ 😭

So yeah, today was kind of a rough day.
But one good thing happened: I listened to a podcast with @Dagmawi_Babi (big fan, as always).

They were talking about design, and honestly, it hit me.
AI isn’t great at design yet, and as developers, we at least need to understand what good and bad design look like. As a full-stack developer, I usually focus more on functionality and backend logic, and this made me reflect on my own designs. Definitely something I want to improve going forward.

They also talked about AI and learning and I loved this part. If we use AI wisely for studying, it’s actually a powerful tool. It can help a lot, not replace thinking, but support it.

He also talked about his Telegram channel and that lovely community. And honestly, Babi is one of the most humble people out there. God bless him.

One thing he mentioned that made me laugh : being careful with posts.
So yeah… sorry for spamming you all with my cringey posts lately 😅

You know he posts start with simple stuff like “hi” or “hey guys,” and funny enough, there were days I genuinely felt like he DM’d me…
Don’t make fun of me please 😂

At the end, he mentioned that he loves “Girl with a Pearl Earring.”
I love painting too, and I do paint, but it made me think I really wish I knew why he chose that painting as his all-time favorite.

Anyway, it was a really good podcast. I loved it.
Good night, guys 😊
One good thing about today was listening to this podcast, honestly.

Love you all 🥰

show up every day
no matter how small

Let’s wrap this week up strong.
Have a beautiful day, my lovelies 🤍

One thing i realized ,

Your biggest supporter is a stranger. Your biggest hater is someone you know.
REMEMBER THAT COMRADE!

so sad! ነብስ ይማር

You are the CEO of your life.
Hire, fire, and promote accordingly.

Happy Saturday you all ❤
